If I want to say there are different possibilities available to me, should I say
- "I am open to various possibilities." is correct but does not have the meaning of your explanation above. Being open to something means that you are willing to consider that (possibility)(option). If I understand your meaning correctly, "option" is the better word. You can have many options, but only be open to a limitted number of them.
If you want to mean 'There are (different)(several)(many) options available to me.', say that.
